Computer savvy people?

Recently my PC has passed out on me, further enticing my wonderful depression since all my written work, beats, everything is on it.
Anyone here know about computer that may be able to assess some info from it crashing?
It's about 10yrs old so I been expecting this to happen..
Notable things it did before it crashed
*Stopped playing videos and music with media player. It would blue screen after attempting to launch a movie or audio file.

Also, I have a light up keyboard that doesn't light up when the PC is turned on now. Also, my monitor DOES NOT DETECT the computer, the screen stays blank, and I play my PS4 on this monitor and it works fine still. However I still can't run a diagnostic test on it b.c the screen won't appear, so no safe booting or diagnostic has been done yet.

One of my tech savvy friends think it could be the power supply, which would make some sense b.c the one I had was a bit under powered for my PC, but I don't have all my info backed up just some of them.

Any thoughts or suggestions to remedy this issue? (Aside from just building a new one or w.e)
